Crochet Blossom Stitch – Photo Tutorial
This easy ear warmer pattern is worked in the round using the blossom stitch. The stitch is easy to make and is worked over two pattern rows.
In one row you work the v-stitch and single crochets. Then for the next row, you simply work the single crochet followed by a chain, and then a double crochet followed by a chain.
The hardest part about the blossom stitch is remembering which row you are on! The following tutorial shows how to make the stitch step by step.
Note: The pattern above starts with a foundation single crochet. In the tutorial, however, I started with a series of chains and then worked the first round of single crochets into the chains. You can do whatever is most comfortable for you, however, the foundation single crochets will give you a more stretchy edge.
Step 1
Chain any multiple of 4. Join the first and last chains with a slip stitch being careful not to twist the chains.
Step 2
Rnd 1: Chain 1.
Step 3
Single crochet into the same chain as join and into each chain around.
Note: I worked into the back bumps, but you don’t have to.
Step 4
Rnd 2: Chain 1. Single crochet into the same stitch as where the join was made.
Skip the next stitch.
Step 5
Double crochet into the next stitch.
Step 6
Chain 1.
Step 7
Double crochet again into the same stitch.
Skip the next stitch.
Step 8
Single crochet into the next stitch.
Step 9
Repeat around.
Step 10
Chain 4. Counts as first double crochet and chain 1 space.
Step 11
Single crochet into chain 1 space. Chain 1.
Step 12
Double crochet into the next single crochet. Chain 1.
Step 13
Repeat around. Join with a slip stitch in the third chain.
Step 14
Rnd 4: Chain 1. Single crochet into the same stitch as join.
Step 15
Double crochet, chain 1, double crochet into next single crochet.
Step 16
Single crochet into the next double crochet.
Step 17
Repeat around. Join with a slip stitch.
Rep Rnds 3 and 4 until you have the height that you want.
